DESCRIPTION
       livemedia-creator uses Anaconda, kickstart and Lorax to create bootable
       media that use the same install path as a normal system install. It can
       be used to make live  isos,  bootable  (partitioned)  disk  images  and
       filesystem images for use with virtualization.

       The  general  idea  is to use virt-install to install into a disk image
       and then use the disk image to create the bootable media.

       livemedia-creator --help will describe all of the options available. At
       the minimum you need:

       --make-iso  to  create  a final bootable .iso --iso to specify the Ana‐
       conda install media to use with virt-install --ks is the	 kickstart  to
       use to install the system

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       --make-iso
	      Build a live iso

       --make-disk
	      Build a partitioned disk image

       --make-fsimage
	      Build a filesystem image

       --make-appliance
	      Build an appliance image and XML description

       --make-ami
	      Build an ami image

       --iso ISO
	      Anaconda installation .iso path to use for virt-install

       --disk-image DISK_IMAGE
	      Path to disk image to use for creating final image

       --fs-image FS_IMAGE
	      Path to filesystem image to use for creating final image

       --ks KS
	      Kickstart file defining the install.

       --image-name IMAGE_NAME
	      Name of fs/disk image to create. Default is a random name.

       --image-only
	      Exit after creating fs/disk image.

       --keep-image
	      Keep raw disk image after .iso creation
